"I have no friends." I know, I came to university with 0 friends. "I've never dated." same. "I'm awkward at networking events." I never enjoyed them either, so here's my gift to you as a senior now at Cornell... my ultimate college guide to relationships.🚀 here's everything I wish I knew as a first-year student before I started college.

🌺Aloha, I’m Katie! I'm a Filipina teen studying abroad at Cornell University. I love creating products at the intersection of technology, entrepreneurship, and design to uplift communities I'm part of. I want to do too many things, and I want to make it all work… so that’s what my YouTube channel is about. Join me on this crazy journey and together, we'll learn, struggle, and hopefully find the courage to live our dreams.

got accepted into Cornell in December and immediately ran to look at vlogs about the campus. Yours were the most helpful, so thank you for them and I hope you have a wonderful rest of senior year!

it is tempting for me to go to college to make new irl friends like so, but then i realized college just ain't for me and i rather be a hustling entrepreneur, an entertainer, and film director. i feel like with the right choices and not being afraid to take risks and most importantly never giving up, i would still be a damn legend. ok i gone off topic there but somehow i can still make new friends along the way possibly.

[HanaGabrielleBidon]

You talking about this reminds me about the friendships I made during college. Most of the friendships I kept were from my freshman and sophomore years in college. Just realized that I had professional acquaintances and wanted a boyfriend or girlfriend so badly during college, which in hindsight wasn't the best decision.

i was a transfer student and it was even HARDER to find friends!!! everyone had their set friend groups but Im happy that I was able to join clubs and find people had similar interests as me!!!

So agreed classifying friendships just because to filter out unecessary expecations that we mighy have from them. Deep friendships is what keeps us sane as well, although one might argue today the frequency of meeting with deep friends can actually be greater just because of today's situation, and of course there is zoom, ao if you truly recognize them as your deep friends, naturally a meet up in zoom or online would be a need for you to rejuvenate from the chaos right now.

I'm definitely going to try out the friend map idea :) I felt like there might have been a lot of people that I've unintentionally ignored, and I want to rekindle some friendships before it's too late <3

This has been nice to hear. It's really nice to have you back Katie. Can't wait for the next video.

I always enjoy watching your videos because you have such great insights! I agree, this is a good ranking system and honestly I never gave it much thought until you explained it and I realized I categorized relationships in a similar way to you! Wishing you the best xoxo

[pollyscracker]

hi Katie!!!! I remember coming across your channel a few years ago while looking for SAT Math II study tips LMAO. I started watching your college-related videos and ended up absolutely loving all things Cornell! Fast forward to today: I’ve recently been accepted to the Class of 2026!! just wanted to let you know how helpful your channel was for me as a fellow international student 🥰 take care!!!

[juliapelc]

Watching your grow in confidence has been such an incredible thing to be part of 💕 Hope you are doing great and feeling better. I am in uni and relate to the thing of people reaching out to you and going deep with them meaning a lot

[macarenahesse]

[ketoetefa]

Thanks for this Video. I learned a lot. I would like to hear more about the friendships that became very helpful to you as you progress through college.

[ChrisRaymundo]

I just wanna say thank you! I’m going to college later this year and I have always had difficulty with friendships. I need this!

[mariamxangeli]

[ralphlaurencemesa]

You’re back Katie 🥰 it’s been a while!!!

[rean]

Eyyy I'm not in college yet but I'd love to know your experience with that kase lam na dis beke nemen ehem US Colleges ehem. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 But the thought of making friends alone, is the best thing that i want to experience.

Did you learn to speak English at a young age in the Philippines? I was watching another video of yours and I thought you were a full-blown Asian-American, as I cannot detect a single hint of an accent in your voice! I had friends in high school who were Filipino, but they were American born and raised. I could have easily mistaken your upbringing as the same as theirs. Cheers!

[mariamxangeli]

I kinda miss the "Aloha" intro greeting 🤭
